        Yes, certainly, here is the chunk of the FAQ ( just updated ) -
this namespacing is really important, more important than the .oaf /
.oafinfo suffix. We should be using the same namespace for IDL interfaces,
IDL filenames, OAF filenames and (often) OAFIIDs, preferably also for UI
xml files.

@Q: What should I call my oaf / UI / IDL file ?
  
        The name of your oaf file should be based on your portion
of the namespace, eg.
  
        GNOME_Evolution_Calendar.oaf
        Com_MyCompany_MyProduct.oaf
  
        This ensures that there will be no conflicts installing
oaf files into a common directory.
  
        HTH,
  
                Michael.
